Koats for Kids 2024
Help us collect 5,000 kids coats!
We need your help!
Please consider donating new and used coats, or making a financial contribution to help keep kids in Dane County warm this winter.
The campaign kicks off Monday, Sept. 9, from 5 a.m.–6:30 p.m., with a “Pack the Truck” event at Klinke Cleaners, 4512 Monona Drive, Madison. The Koats for Kids collection van will be parked curbside to accept donations of new and gently worn children’s-sized winter outerwear and accessories.
The winter coat collection continues through Saturday, Oct. 5, and donations may be dropped off at any area Klinke Cleaners. Items will be cleaned for free by the staff at Klinke Cleaners, and donations will be distributed by BGCDC.
Requests for children’s sized winter coats continue to outpace the number of kids coats donated, so we’ve set a goal of 5000 kids’ coats to meet projected needs in 2024.
Don’t have a winter coat to give? Please consider making a financial donation here, or check out the KOATS FOR KIDS Amazon Wish List for a selection of kids’ winter coats and accessories available for purchase. Your donation will benefit children right here, where we live.
All gently used winter coats and accessories will be cleaned FOR FREE by Klinke Cleaners, and given to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Dane County for distribution.
This year’s distribution will be held Friday, Oct. 25, from 9 a.m.–6 p.m. at the following locations:
- Allied Family Center, 4619 Jenewein Road, Fitchburg;
- Erica & Anthony Fleming Boys & Girls Club, 2001 Taft St., Madison; and
- McKenzie Family Boys & Girls Club, 232 Windsor St., Sun Prairie.
